In the Norwegian Sea... The Second Battle of Narvik. All eight German destroyers remaining in the fiord are sunk by a British force which includes the battleship Warspite as well as nine destroyers. A U-boat is also sunk by the Warspite's scout plane. The German commander, Captain Bey, has missed several opportunities to get at least some of his ships away during the previous few days.

In Berlin... Hitler is very worried by the situation in Norway and is only just prevented by his staff from issuing a series of very rash orders, particularly to the troops in Narvik.
